People say that a consistent style restricts creativity. Others say it enhances creativity. What are the arguments on both sides of this question?

In my opinion, I believe that writing in a consistent style will restrict your creativity. But of course, that depends on the writer because some might like to be restricted in order to enhance or kind of bring out their creativity. If you don’t have any restriction then you can combine your creativity by using different ideas and somehow connect them together making your writing more enjoyable and more persuasive to the reader.

Sometimes is hard to write in a consistent style, depending on the writer. Since your creativity is restricted, now you have to sit down and come up with ideas and one way or another integrating it to your writing. There may be times in which you run out of ideas of the consistent style your were ask to write in, making it harder and longer to complete your task. Due to this situation, now you have to sit down again and try to gather more information and put it together with the rest of your writing. In the other hand, if you are not restricted you can jump into other topics and try to get something out of it and then include it in your writing. You can keep doing this once you start running out of ideas and then you just have to put it together. So I think that if you don’t have any restrictions you can be more creative and even make a fusion of different types of topics that will make your writing yet more creative.
